  1. R.I.P. Tre Johnson # 77

    The "Trent Green season" was the first real season I followed the Redskins because I finally realized FOX had the games. So I remember his name after all these years. I would have been 11 or so. 25 years or so flies by very quickly.

  2. The forgotten Redskins owner....

    Going to the Library of Congress and examining one of the files donated to it, here's a magazine article he kept. The magazine itself has likely died, and it appears to be called "Potomac".

  3. The All Things Terry Thread

    The cold reality is that the NFL has control over their players' pay compared to other leagues and they also have "supportive" fans who are easily manipulated into antagonizing the players' attempt to get more money for the work they do. The media also is under the "soft power" of the NFL.

  4. Our Run game....whats really going on.

    That just means he became damaged goods at that time. So we never got to see a completely uninjured Robinson to compare with. But my greater point is that "cleared-to-play" is not the same as completely and fully restored to the time before the injury. Soft tissue deficiencies can remain not...

  5. Our Run game....whats really going on.

    I think BRob might be long term damaged from that shooting. Good-to-go is not "exactly the same as before". I know how it feels decades after falling down on an ankle in HS. It has led to muscular imbalances that absolutely kills my legs and quadratus lumborum...

  6. The forgotten Redskins owner....

    https://hrc.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15878coll90/id/37/ I found this old interview with Williams and a young Mike Wallace. Oh, how society was different...shilling smokes. No wonder he didn't care when CBS had a 60 minutes report with Jeffrey Wigand in the 90s, and The Insider's...

  7. The forgotten Redskins owner....

    He was the one who hired Vince Lombardi too.

  8. Commanders News (Social Media)

    The Texans did cover it up for a time; hence why the Texans were also sued at a point in time and the organization settled quietly. Before he tried to influence decisions of management, they were more than willing to use their string-pulling to keep things quiet and even set things up for...

  9. Commanders News (Social Media)

    They won't figure one out because they don't need to. That's the problem. There is no meaningful way to resist and upend the NFL like in the MLB or NBA to make NFL owners pay up against each other so players all over can make 10s or 100s of millions. Fan sentiment generally aligns with the...

  10. The forgotten Redskins owner....

    He was Catholic, and practicing as well. He hid it though The list of notorious, famous, and infamous figures he made contact with was long. He defended Vito Corleone(aka Frank Costello, the figure who inspired the character). Some of the bodies are alive today. Rudy Giuliani was the "good...

  11. The forgotten Redskins owner....

    https://www.amazon.com/Man-See-Evan-Thomas/dp/0671792113 This bio was published in 1991 by Evan Thomas. Quite a well written bio, lots of facts and human figures. Big list of famous guys he interacted with. According to the bio, he was what convinced Ben Bradlee to publish the Pentagon...

  12. The forgotten Redskins owner....

    While Dan Snyder, Jack Kent Cooke, and George Preston Marshall have been in fore of modern Redskins' fans minds, I came across one whom I have NOT heard at all in my fandom. That would be Edward Bennett Williams. By circumstance and a mother who dumpster dives, I came across a discarded...

  13. Official Game Thread - NFC CHAMPIONSHIP - Commanders @ Eagles

    The one thing is that the Eagles D is tough but we carved it up the second time.

  14. Ron Rivera to the Jets? 🤦‍♂️

    Ok lol. Anders Carlson is garbage and so is Jamin...unless they're fully tanking on purpose...

  15. Tell the Truth Monday- Playoff Edition

    We'd post at least one loss to the Giants. We drop the Bears game for sure. This ATL game. Philly, Bengals, Saints. I have no doubt they'd all be Ls. 6-7 game difference all because of a huge upgrade at QB. A lot of our wins is Jayden Daniels pulling things out of his ass like Joe Montana(I've...

  16. Ron Rivera to the Jets? 🤦‍♂️

    I think Rex Ryan has the favorable edge because he did deliver results back in the day. I don't think his aggressive blitzing works against Mahomes but he might make them somewhat respectable again.

  17. Next Day Thread: Dirty Work, Dirty Bird

    I think Kirk might have told Penix about his pick 6 tossed to Robert Alford in 2015 as a veteran story.

  18. Official Game Thread - Week 12 - Commanders vs. Dallas @NW - GIDDY UP!

    What is the benefit of putting JD on an island and treating as if he didn't have broken ribs? Some of the typical plays QB makes involve eating hits just after releasing the ball(think Jay Cutler in Chicago), and it's clear that JD is unable to handle that at the moment due to injury and not...

  19. Official Game Thread - Week 12 - Commanders vs. Dallas @NW - GIDDY UP!

    They're just generating as much tape as possible without getting him murdered. Wins and losses are not significant this year. Everything is an evaluation.

  20. Official Game Thread - Week 12 - Commanders vs. Dallas @NW - GIDDY UP!

    Not quite like old times. We'd just whimper and die around the 2 minute warning. The Mclaurin TD shows a flash of the new, but overpowered by the old clusterfucking. The closest was that Tampa game where we lost 16-17.
